I had a similar experience like this the other day. I was at a local car meet and I spot a gray 06 evo running a "AMS" windshield banner ( Now some of you might be like whats the big deal about that? Well Ams performance doesnt just hand those out to anyone you have to have a pretty serious build) And of course being an Evo fan I knew this so I was excited to talk to the owner. As closer inspection showed the car was no joke it was running a 42r and when I went to compliment the "younger kid" on his car. I got a somewhat smart remark. "How do you know its a 42r?" And I was like well I'm not idiot when someone runs a half radiator and there's a huge turbo hanging off the manifold one could tell. And he proceeds to say hes running the half radiator just to keep the car cooler. Like really? C'mon dude no need to bull shit. Anyways Its just really annoying when I give someone a compliment on the craftsmanship of their car and get the snobby remarks. Ive always been very open about talking about my cars. Sometimes you do get those kids that ask dumb questions but I just smile and laugh a little to myself but I'm still polite. My point is its not always just exotic car owners. I tip my hat to all those who show respect and treat people the same way when it comes to cars.
